Transported to the Dojo

[Ryan - Loki]

Listening to everything that was happening on behind him now within the room Loki continued to look out of the window; the outside world seemed so quiet and pleasant, so unaware of the destruction that was about to unfold upon its lands. Despite the dangers that the planet faced, and the loss of Ryan already, it seemed that the remaining warriors still didn’t seem it was best to take heed to what he had said to them. It was starting to piss him off. Sighing quite loudly Loki clenched his fists around the window ledge, causing the wood to crumble under the pressure, before sharply turning back around to face the group; his red eyes seemingly aflame. “Am I surrounded by idiots?” Loki spat out, a rhetorical question nevertheless.

Slowly he took a few paces to his left. “Lets get one thing straight here…I might be a bastard, but I’m not a fucking bastard. I will not see the death, willingly or not, of any woman or child.” he continued. “Now Raziel, you’re right…I want you and Gareeku to go out and find this person.” he ordered, looking between the both of them. “Crystalina,” he said, turning toward her. “I want you to wait here until word is sent for you to join up with us, and as for me…” he paused as he drifted into a daze of sorts, before shaking his head to bring his thoughts back on track, sharply turning back toward the group. “…And if anyone has a problem with this then speak now, and face me.”

"Oh you can bet your ass I do", she said glaring at him as if her gaze could kill. "First off I do not take orders from YOU or anyone else for that matter. We are all equals here and secondly I will not stay behind. You have no ocntrol over me or my actions", she said angrily as she approached him slapping his face hard enough for it to elicit a sound. "And that is for being an ass"

[Ryan - Loki]

Loki had half expected someone to stand up and say something negative about what he had just ordered, but he had hoped they had a little more sense than to stand up against a Lord of Hell. Considering his true nature he had been very kind and very helping over the least twenty-four hours, a lot more so than he ever wished to be, and he was beginning to think that they were starting to forget who he really was or that maybe they didn’t even know to begin with. He knew that Raizel knew who he was and he guessed that Gareeku, being a close friend of Ryan, knew who he truly was as well but Crystalina, he doubted she did; it was her who spoke up first.

He listened to everything she had to say, while she advanced on him in anger before slapping him on the cheek with enough force to cause his face to turn in the opposite direction. Usually this would have angered him but he had really expected nothing less of her and being that he knew he least out of the group it had been a point of his to anger her to realise her true nature; she was feisty. Slowly he turned his face back toward her, looking down at her in complete silence as he did so.
“Equals?” he suddenly bellowed out. “I could destroy every single one of you within this room if it pleased me to do so, I’m no Lord of Hell for no reason!” he exclaimed, stepping forward toward Crystalina, which would more than likely cause her to step backwards. “I am in charge here because not only am I the most powerful and the most ruthless here but I’m also a Samurai!” he said in a loud voice yet not exactly a shout, his face in hers as he did so.

Suddenly he felt a large amount of his very essence suddenly drain from his body, from the very point that Ryan’s Reavers had pierced his stomach and chest. Instantly Loki arched forward and fell to his knees, gripping his old wounds that Ryan had caused him with his right arm and keeping himself from falling upon the floor with his left one. This gripping pain continued onward for roughly twenty seconds before he felt his essence return back to him, him breathing heavily because of it; he knew what this meant. “Ryan…” he muttered quietly in-between breaths. “Ryan’s…dead…” he said a bit louder, informing the rest of the group, Ryan’s energy signal having faded from senses.

[Gareeku]

As Loki informed the group that Ryan was dead, Gareeku was silent, his back to the others as he looked out of one of the dojo's windows. There was seemingly no reaction from the blue tailed saiyan at first, but then one would notice something to show that the news had indeed hit home. Gareeku's hands were clenched into tight fists, shaking slighty from clenching so hard. Little bolts of electricity danced around the warrior's frame as Gareeku stood there mostly motionless. Not visible to the others, Gareeku's teeth were gritted in anger, his brow furrowed and his eyes shut tight in grief and anger as the news sank in. For the short time they had known each other, Ryan and Gareeku had indeed become close friends, and now Ryan was gone. To the blue tailed saiyan, it seemed that his life was cursed with loss of both friends and family. If only he hadn't stepped through the portal...if only he had stayed there, fighting by his friend's side, then maybe...just maybe...he would still be alive...

"We need to act quickly. The more time we waste here, the more time the saiyans having of conquering this planet" Gareeku finally said in a seemingly emotionless voice, turning towards the group as he spoke. In his facial expression was an essence of sadness and mourning, yet at the same time, a flame of determination burned fiercely within his brilliant blue eyes.

As the event between Crystalina and Loki reignited, Raizel's gaze changed to the, somewhat, peaceful scenery outside. Would an alliance between these warriors work? Between Loki's renowned arrogance, and Crystalina's display of how she chooses to handle certain situations, he had his doubts. Perhaps splitting up was the best idea after all...."Dammit..." He mumbled. He could feel a bit more of his power slipping away as each minute passed by. Slowly he had submerged himself in a sea of thoughts. " I'm already down to one-third of my original power. This shell won't last much longer...I must finish this mission before I return to Aion..." Raizel closed his eyes, and letting the wall support his body, let out yet another sigh.

It wasn't long before he had been brought back into reality by the verbal struggle for dominance between Loki and Crystalina. His eyes opened, and immediately, shot toward the area where the two stood. " Both of you need to stop acting like children!" Raizel yelled. " As he said..." His head nodded toward Gareeku. " we can't afford to waste any more time..."

Pushing his body off the wall, the young lord of hell stared directly into Loki's eyes. " Let's make this clear, I don't give a damn about the reasoning behind this little opinion of yours. The girl is coming along with us if she chooses, that's final." He had been cautious with his words toward Loki thus far. It wasn't out of fear, but because the group already had enough tension between them, adding to it would be foolish. " Anywhoo...." Raizel spoke out once more. " I've thought of the perfect people for this job, and fortunately, we can reach them in only a few minutes. Now do any of you know Ryzan, or his apprentice, Vedan?"

(OOC: Sorry for the repost. I just wanted to add to a bit more since I now have some free time. Just thought it would be better than leaving the rushed version up... )

[Ryan - Loki]

Loki remained on his knees in front of Crystalina. It wasn’t because he was still struggling to regain himself from the sudden drain on his body but because he couldn’t believe that Ryan was gone, just like that. Although having tried to end his brother life on several occasions he had never prepared himself for the effects it would have on him, especially if it wasn’t him who had taken his life. He was angered in a sense that he felt cheated because Ryan’s life, which had been only his to take, had been taken and not by his hand. He would need to shake these feelings; he would not look anymore mortal than he already did.

He could hear Raizel shouting in the background and, up until now, had taken no notice pf what he had been saying. “If we can’t afford to waste anymore time then I suggest you do as I said and leave…both of you.” Loki said slowly and quietly to Raizel and Gareeku, anger and aggression clearly noticeable within his voice. His crimson eyes were burning with such fierceness that a red glow could almost be seen upon the floor below him. Pushing himself up Loki stood once more, this time turning off toward Raizel, before slowly moving toward him. “Your word means nothing to me, weakling,” Loki spat, still within his quiet tone. “Unless you want your blood to spill upon this very floor I suggest you do leave Raizel…I am in no mood for your games.”

Stopping just off from Raizel Loki stopped, having not blinked or taken his sight off from him since he had turned to face him. “Now I don’t care where you go, what you do, or even who you find…just leave my sight now, me and Crystalina have a few words we need to say to each other.” Loki finished, his eyes still pulsating.

[goddessofthenight]

The mood continued to grow hostile by the minute. Crystalina would have thought the news about Ryan would change the aggressive tone and llustrate the idea of some sense of teamwork but it seemed nothing mattered to Loki except pushing his own agenda and getting his way. "I have nothing else to say to you. Words are wasted on you. Besides we do not have time to stand here and bicker while innocents are dying!" , she snapped angrily at Loki who seemed set on continuing this debate.

(sorry so short. college stuff. ill mnake the enxt one longer)

[Ryan - Loki]

Loki heard Crystalina snap angrily behind him. It wasn’t her words that angered him mostly it was the disrespect and stupidity that they all seemed to be set on showing him, all other than Gareeku it seemed; at least there was one person within the room with more than a handful of sense. Tilting his head down slightly Loki couldn’t believe what was happening, what he was feeling. He had just lost his brother, part of his very essence, and yet these invalids still chose to ignore his orders and then shout at him the very thing that they were the cause of. “Gah…stupid mortals…” he spat quietly.

“On two occasions within this conversation I have told you, nay ORDERED you, too get out of here…” he began, pausing as he lifted his head to look back at Raizel once more. “And where are you all? Here, against what I’ve told you…” his tone was extremely aggressive, yet quiet at the same time. “I think, little girl, that it is YOU and these piece of shit in front of me who words are wasted on…hell, the freak of a Saiyan is the only other one with any sense in this damn room!” he shouted, his aggression finally showing.

[Aion]

"You're the one who lacks any form of sense!" Raizel spat back. "You said it yourself, we are out powered and out manned, and yet, this brilliant plan of yours calls for us to separate!?!? You are placing even more odds against us, all for your own selfish reasons!" He continued to shout, a look of disbelief present on his face. The Nenian didn't understand how Loki could spout such ideas, it went against everything he had experienced.

Raizel placed a hand on his forehead in a clear sign of frustration. "Dammit..." He mumbled. His head felt like it was splitting in half, another side effect of trying maintain dominance in this shell while low on energy. Pushing Loki aside, he made his way toward the door. " However, I agree with you on one thing, instead of wasting my words on a man with the mentality of a bitchy nine year old brat, I should have made my way to the Tower." Immediately after finishing his statement Raizel vanished.

[Ryan - Loki]

Loki was fuming as Raizel vanished from sight. That imbecilic lap dog! Loki spat in his mind. In truth he hated this Raizel merely for the fact he was almost directly linked to Lucifer, the one person Loki detested more so than even Ryan; that and the fact that Raizel reminded him too much of himself. I must remember to make sure I give him a visit before this war is over… despite the dishonour and disrespect that the lord had showed him he had plenty of other things he had to set his mind on before worry about that; one thing being the war that was about to explode over the planet, the war that had cost him the life of his brother, Ryan.

Despite always having a common conflict with Ryan Loki knew the plain and simply truth; without Ryan the Samurai were even closer to complete extinction, a sad fact. This thought caused him great anger and fuelled his hatred toward the royal families of Lavertia and Bedoe; it had been there fault that his people were slaughtered. Loki turned around and took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he did so. “Gah…if my people were still alive this war wouldn’t be a problem,” he commented, more to himself than anyone else. It was something that could only be speculated on in fact.

Loki slowly opened an eye. “What the-” he said softly. He could feel her again, as if she had appeared from thin air. She had been gone for so long, so long in fact that the way her mere presence caused him to feel had somewhat been forgotten, although under the circumstances it wasn’t hard to imagine why, but now that she had returned he was drawn to her essence, and he couldn’t even explain why. Opening his other eye he glanced at the others within the room slightly; he didn’t want them knowing where he was going or why. Suddenly his body became engulfed in bright crimson flames. As the flames vanished so had Loki, him nowhere to be seen.

[goddessofthenight]

"Okay will someone tell me what the HELL just happened?" Crystalina asked pissed off as she placed her hand on her hips. This was getting ridicoulus.

"Forget this defend yourself. I'll protect my home myself" She said obviously annoyed as she began to walk off. At least her warriors were dependable. She didn't have to worry about them questioning her or disappearing unexpectedly when there was work to be done. No she could count on them. She waited until she was a distance away before kneeling on the ground and closing her eyes tiliting her head towards the sky.

Oh Goddeesses Artemis and Selene hear my plea. Deliver me home so that I may protect that which you have created
